This is the PROGRAM of the

Kingston Numismatic Society

We have a members' auction twice a year (June and December).
In January there is no formal meeting, but an informal gathering is usually held at the house of one of the members.

The February meeting is devoted to members' short talks, usually on a set theme.
September is the Annual General Meeting - not usually as boring as this might sound, because it includes our annual Display Competion, and a perpetual cup is awarded for what is voted to be the best display.
The remaining meetings are normally talks by visiting or guest speakers, or sometimes by one of our own "celebrities"!

Here is the program for the current year (1997/8):

September 18th ... Annual General Meeting and Display Competition

October 16th ... Henry Stern: "A View of 19th Century England from Tokens and Medallions"

November 20th ... Dennis Cooper: "The Development of Coinage Dies from Bronze to Steel"

Our monthly meetings start at 7.30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month (except December and January) at
KING ATHELSTAN SCHOOL
VILLIERS ROAD
KINGSTON-UPON-THAMES

The December meeting is held as above but on the second Thursday (so as not to conflict with Christmas preparations).
